School Walk-Out

A couple hundred Cuyahoga Falls students staged a walk-out the other day due to budget cuts and teacher layoffs. Genius moves all around on this one . . . By the administration for pulling teachers out of classes in the middle of the day to tell them that they didn't have jobs anymore (really classy). By the superintendent with the cheesy porno mustache for threatening students who had walked out with lockdown conditions if they didn't return to class immediately.

Reading about this guy immediately makes me think of the principal from "The Breakfast Club". Think of the great responses this guy could have gotten, "Hey buddy, we're not in the school, so lotsa harm your lockdown is gonna do to us. . . Also, nice 'stache" Or how about, "No, instead of putting up with your assinine rules and regulations I think I'll sit out here until you and the school board hand in your resignations. By the way, good job treating your employees with dignity and class." That one probably wouldn't have gone over really well, huh?

What I love about this is the students standing up for something that's actually important for a change. We've seen students whine and moan about dress codes, "illegal" searches, or even pay-to-play, and good for them, really, but this time they're actually standing up for something that matters. It kind of makes me wish I was in high school just so I could cause trouble for these morons that are in charge. Of course, then I think about it for 3 seconds, and no, I don't wish I was back in high school. If I had a kid who did something like this for a real reason like this I'd throw them a party, seriously. Should be fun to see if this entire school board has to resign before the community will consider passing a levy.
